• Major surgical procedure within 28 days of day 1 of therapy
• Use of any other concurrent investigational agents or anticancer agents except for hormonal therapy as outlined in inclusion criteria

Other illness

• Patient has a known hypersensitivity to the components of study drugs, its analogues, or drugs of similar chemical or biologic composition

Other

• Patient is pregnant or breastfeeding

• Patients must have a histologically-confirmed metastatic or locally advanced cancer that has failed to respond to standard therapy, progressed despite standard therapy, or for which standard therapy that increases survival by at least three months does not exist
• There is no limit on the number of prior treatment regimens
• Patients must be off prior cytotoxic chemotherapy for at least three weeks. For biologic or targeted therapy, there should be five half lives or three weeks, whichever is shorter, between their last treatment and the first dose on this trial.
• Patients may receive palliative radiation therapy before or during treatment on protocol, provided that there is measurable or evaluable disease out of the radiation field. Patients may receive palliative radiation therapy, if needed, 48 hours after last dose of investigational drug. In addition patients may be enrolled on trial seven days following palliative radiation. We will closely monitor for the appearance of radiation recall reactions. Hormonal therapy may continue in patients who have been on such treatment for three months or longer.
• ECOG performance status 0-3
• Patients must have adequate organ and marrow function as defined by: absolute neutrophil count \>/= 1000uL, platelets \>/= 50,000uL, bilirubin \</=2mg/dL (exceptions may apply to benign non-malignant indirect hyperbilirubinemia such as Gilbert syndrome), ALT \</= 2 x ULN or \</=5x ULN if liver metastases present, creatinine \</= 2mg/dL
